Hi Pasi,

I am not sure whether I can install PV drivers in Rocks HPC Cluster software 5.1 x86-64 (based on CentOS) HVM virtual machines. When I tried to install Rocks 5.1 x86-64 as a PV guest, it complains "invalid kernel" and something about the ELF kernel image. So I guess PV is out for Rocks.

To set e1000 (virtualized Intel Gigabit NIC), I have to use the model parameter in vif in HVM config? Will I get gigabit speeds instead of the Fast Ethernet 100Mb/s speed with virtual Realtek NICs?

Thank you.

Do you have PV drivers installed in the HVM guests? if not, use e1000 NIC.
